Lunge Lurk: Cagney’s petals form a fist and his face springs out on whatever section the fist was formed(top or bottom) for a short time before going back to his idle.
Magic Hands : Cagney’s stem splits into 2 legs as He cups His hands together before opening them to reveal 1 of 2 attacks.
Boomerang (Magic Hands): A Sycamore Seed inside a Boomerang travels to the right on the upper section of the screen above the Platforms. A few seconds after it goes offscreen, it reappears going to the left of the screen under the Platforms. After going offscreen a second time, the Boomerang doesn’t reappear a second time.
Acorns (Magic Hands): 3 Acorns go wherever the player(s) are in a straight line. They don’t follow the player’s every movement.

Purple Seeds: This Seed grows a Baby Toothy Terror that stays on the Ground and acts as a hazard.
Light Blue Seeds: This Seed grows a Vine that releases a Green Toothy Terror that follows the Player’s every move until defeated.
Pink Seeds: This Seed grows a Vine that releases a Toothy Terror Floater that stays at the top of the screen moving left & right.
